While officers noted the site was within designated countryside and not contiguous with a built-up area boundary they felt the proposal ‘is not considered to conflict with the essential countryside protection and sustainability aims of these policies’.

Their report added: “It is considered that the proposal would not harm the intrinsic qualities of the countryside or the scenic and natural beauty of the High Weald AONB and that the site should be considered an appropriate location for residential development in sustainability terms.”
